No dorms here buddy.

Academic Rigor

Nothing in the way of miracle work but the staff manage to do their job and help students in need. Their very helpful and many will go the extra mile to help those students who really want to better themselves. Though some who work in higher positions could care less and aren't as enthusiastic. The teachers themselves are great and hold a great passion for what they teach. They make classes as interesting as possible and make learning a breeze. Take note that all teachers may not be like this as with any school.

Tips for prospective students

Come expecting to get the basics of your degree unless your degree is in the health care profession. If so expect to get all the help and support you could ever want.

It's a great 2 year school to help new students transition to a 4 year school. Mostly great teachers and helpful staff. Great focus on the health care field but fails to realize that not everyone wants a degree in the medical field.
